Description

This course constitutes an introduction to dendrochronology; the science of tree-ring analysis. Dendrochronology is particularly appropriate for students with interests in the chronological and dynamical aspects of tree growth, forest ecology, climatology, hydrology, geomorphology, and anthropology/archaeology. The history, principles and applications of dendrochronology are reviewed in this course. Problems related to the sampling and dating of tree-ring series; the development of chronological series, the analysis and interpretation of dendrochronological data are also be emphasized. This course includes a compulsory field trip during the second or third weekend of the course.

Requisite courses

BIOL-2403 and BIOL-2153 or permission of the instructor [prerequisite(s)]; ENV-4473L (lab) (must be taken concurrently).

Restrictions

Students cannot hold credit for this course and BIOL-4473.
